520    "Something new and important is afoot. Nonprofit and 
       philanthropic organizations are under increasing pressure 
       to do more and to do better to increase and improve 
       productivity with fewer resources. Social entrepreneurs, 
       community-minded leaders, nonprofit organizations, and 
       philanthropists now recognize that to achieve greater 
       impact they must adopt a network-centric approach to 
       solving difficult problems. Building networks of like-
       minded organizations and people offers them a way to weave
       together and create strong alliances that get better 
       leverage, performance, and results than any single 
       organization is able to do. While the advantages of such 
       networks are clear, there are few resources that offer 
       easily understandable, field-tested information on how to 
       form and manage social-impact networks. Drawn from the 
       authors' deep experience with more than thirty successful 
       network projects, Connecting to Change the World provides 
       the frameworks, practical advice, case studies, and expert
       knowledge needed to build better performing networks. 
       Readers will gain greater confidence and ability to 
       anticipate challenges and opportunities. Easily 
       understandable and full of actionable advice, Connecting 
       to Change the World is an informative guide to creating 
       collaborative solutions to tackle the most difficult 
       challenges society faces."--|cProvided by publisher.
